The Tom Ferry Podcast Experience

A 100-year-old brand you already know and trust is about to revolutionize real estate lead generation strategy forever. And their August 1st launch might be the biggest listing lead opportunity of 2026 — but only for the right agents. If I asked you how much your car is worth, there's one name that instantly pops into your head. Yes. Kelley Blue Book. Now they're coming for real estate — and your...

Sometimes the answer isn't to try harder. It's to try differently. We've all seen the fly that keeps slamming into the window. More effort. More force. More frustration. And yet, no breakthrough. The same thing happens in business. When something isn't working, our instinct is often to push harder. More calls. More hours. More hustle. But what if the real solution is to stop for a moment and look...

Most people don't fail because they took the wrong shot. They fail because they never took one at all. The call. The email. The video. The conversation. The opportunity. Too many people get stuck waiting for certainty before they act. But clarity doesn't come before action. It comes from action. Take the shot. If it works, you get a result. If it doesn't, you get a lesson. Either way, you move for...

Most agents are layering AI on top of an already overwhelming workload — and wondering why they feel busier than ever.   This week on the podcast, TF Coach Emily Terrell breaks down what separates agents who drown in AI tools from the ones who use AI to actually buy back their time. Emily runs a real estate team, coaches roughly 14 hours a week, and handles eight speaking engagements a month — and...

The generalist agent is disappearing. The ones winning right now aren't trying to be everything to everyone — they're becoming the undeniable expert in one thing.   Valerie Upham, a Compass agent in San Diego, did exactly that. By committing to a single, high-need specialty most agents won't touch, she generated over $475,000 in GCI in 18 months — and $267,000 of that came straight from educationa...

What does it mean to be culturally relevant as a real estate agent? That’s what this whole game is about, and it’s what I’m answering in this Mindset Monday.    But heads-up… The times aren’t just changing—they’ve already changed.    If you’re serious about being relevant and profitable in this industry, it’s time to get your ticket to the Success Summit (August 3–5), either in-person in Anaheim,...

In this conversation, she breaks down why the real es...
